wmfs2 guide

Some of you guys requested that I make a WMFS2 thread so here it is =]

WMFS2 is still in beta but in my experience I have had no bugs or issues (well none that cannot be solved very easily) The wmfs community is small but helpful and the dev is usually always found on freenode #wmfs (xorg62).

Now for the install. WMFS must be installed from source in crunchbang as it is not yet in the repo (surprisingly) it can be downloaded here though I recommend using git. You will need to install the following dependancies.

sudo apt-get install git-core libimlib2-dev build-essential libxinerama-dev libx11-dev

1. Run "git clone git://github.com/xorg62/wmfs.git" in your terminal without the quotes (or you can get the tarball from the above link)
2. Now cd into the wmfs file (if you grabbed the tarball then extract and cd into that)
3. The usual install...

./configure -h
./configure
make
sudo make install

and done!

Now the next part. I am not sure whether WMFS is listed in GDM but I use .xinitrc. If you do not know what .xinitrc is then consult this

It is basically along the lines of:

#!/bin/bash
#xinitrc file

#List programs to execute on startup (making sure to add & to the end of each command)
# some program
program &
#some program
program &

#Execute the window manager (make sure this is at the end of the file!)
exec wmfs

Now save your .xinitrc to ~/ and run "chmod +x ~/.xinitrc" in a terminal without the quotes. Now run "ln ~/.xinitrc ~/.xsession" this will link .xinitrc to .xsession for use in GDM however if this fails then you probably already have an .xsession file so delete it "rm ~/.xsession" and run the last command again.

Now logout and select "Run Xclient Script" in the window manager list and login. You should be greeted with the wmfs default desktop which has the numbers 1 > 9 in the top left. wmfs does not have a config file for a user instead it uses the default. So copy that over by running "cp /usr/local/etc/xdg/wmfs/wmfsrc ~/.config/wmfs/wmfsrc" now you can use your prefered text editor to edit colors, keybindings etc. Here is mine for reference or for you to edit.

to use this conky you need to add this to your ~/.xinitrc file

(conky -q | while read LINE; do wmfs -c status "topbar $LINE"; done) &

This basically just says conky go to the statusbar named topbar! (which you can define in the bars section of your wmfsrc) and the strange formatting is parsed by wmfs and shows as graphs, bars, clickable areas etc,

I will add to this if I need to otherwise just tell me anything else you need help with below =]

Here is a small preview of my desktop.

Re: wmfs2 guide

Good thread to start; nice set up.

Looks like they have changed the config file with wmfs2. How does wmfs2 handle tabbing now? It use to be a layout option.

Re: wmfs2 guide

Nice guide.

I wasn't impressed with the first wmfs. It was just too hungry and buggy compared to other tilers. But judging from the website, this wmfs2 is really something. I saw Arnault's (arpinux) name there and went over to check out his configs, and his statusbar is just insane!!... in a good way, I mean. Typical Arp.

A bit too maximal for me, but I like the ideas and how they're presented. Definitely a step-up from the first wmfs. Plus, it's distributed under the correct license. =]

Props.

Re: wmfs2 guide

Typo:

Now save your .xinitrc to ~/ and run "chmod +x ~/.xinitrc" in a terminal without the quotes. Now run "ln ~/.xinirc ~/.xsession" this will link .xinitrc to .xsession for use in GDM however if this fails then you probably already have an .xsession file so delete it "rm ~/.xsession" and run the last command again.

Edited =] Thanks for pointing that out.

@Packrat: As far as I know layouts are now on the fly and by tabbing I assume you mean the top left buttons. Well I use "Super + Left/Right" to switch desktops but you can also click the tab to change desktop.

@Gutterslob: I never did try wmfs but judging by your opinion I am glad I started on version 2. Thanks for your input =]

Re: wmfs2 guide

I think I'm mixing my wm's up; I thought wmfs had a tabbing layout like i3.

Re: wmfs2 guide

I think I'm mixing my wm's up; I thought wmfs had a tabbing layout like i3.

You mean tabs like this? (bottom tile has three tabs, only one visible window):

here are the default keybindings for tabbing:

 # Tabbing command
  [key] mod = {"Alt", "Shift"} key = "h" func = "client_tab_left"   [/key]
  [key] mod = {"Alt", "Shift"} key = "l" func = "client_tab_right"  [/key]
  [key] mod = {"Alt", "Shift"} key = "k" func = "client_tab_top"    [/key]
  [key] mod = {"Alt", "Shift"} key = "j" func = "client_tab_bottom" [/key]
  [key] mod = {"Alt", "Shift"} key = "u" func = "client_untab" [/key]
  [key] mod = {"Super"}        key = "t" func = "client_tab_next_opened" [/key]

So if you have one window on top of another (with the bottom one focused):

and you press alt+shift+k you get a combined tabbed window:

does that help?

(edit) and now I remember what I like about wmfs --
just the right combination of key binds and mouse moves --
dammit... just when I'd settled on musca...

maybe i'll leave wmfs as the default on the test box for a while...

Re: wmfs2 guide

@2manydogs - that would be it; I seem to recall being able to set that as default in wmfs.

Giving wmfs2 a look:

Re: wmfs2 guide

Got a few probs,

First, my web browser (iceweasel) always spawns(from super+p) in the current tag im in, instead of the 2nd tag

  
  [rule]
    instance = "x-www-browser"
    tag    = 1  # 2nd tag
    free = false
  [/rule]
  
  [rule]
    instance = "Iceweasel"
    tag = 1
    free = false
  [/rule]
  

Every other rule I have works, spawns the program in the correct tag, except for my browser, which gets annoying at times.

The 2nd, how do I get the menu working?

  

[menu]
        # Default menu, binded on the root window, button 3.
        [set_menu]
                name = "rootmenu"

                # place_at_mouse = false
                # x = 40 y = 50

                # Available "center", "left", "right" menu align. Default: "center".
                align = "left"

                fg_focus  = "#191919" bg_focus  = "#7E89A2"
                fg_normal = "#9F9AB3" bg_normal = "#191919"

                [item] name = "Applications" submenu = "appmenu"                                     [/item]
                [item] name = "Shutdown"        func = "spawn" cmd = "urxvt -e sudo shutdown -h now" [/item]
                [item] name = "Restart"         func = "spawn" cmd = "urxvt -e sudo shutdown -r now" [/item]  
        [/set_menu]

        [set_menu]
                name = "appmenu"
                align = "left"

                fg_focus  = "#191919" bg_focus  = "#7E89A2"
                fg_normal = "#9F9AB3" bg_normal = "#191919"

                [item] name = "Browser"         func = "spawn" cmd = "x-www-browser"           [/item]
                [item] name = "Terminal"        func = "spawn" cmd = "terminator"              [/item]
                [item] name = "File Manager"    func = "spawn" cmd = "urxvt -e thunar"        [/item]
                [item] name = "Volume Control"  func = "spawn" cmd = "urxvt -e alsamixer" [/item]
        [/set_menu]

        [set_menu]
                name = "clientmenu"

                fg_focus  = "#D4D4D4" bg_focus  = "#003366"
                fg_normal = "#D4D4D4" bg_normal = "#191919"

                # Check items: possible 'check_max' or 'check_free'.
                [item] name = "Close"    func = "client_kill"                      [/item]
                [item] name = "Maximize" func = "toggle_max"  check = "check_max"  [/item]
                [item] name = "Free"     func = "toggle_free" check = "check_free" [/item]
        [/set_menu]
[/menu]

Whaat button do I press to get it to pop up?

Re: wmfs2 guide

@dinner -

For your browser, try using "Navigator" instead of "Iceweasel" for the instance (needs to be the first part of WM_CLASS output from xprop). I think you can add:

class = "Iceweasel"

as a separate line in the rule.

Re: wmfs2 guide

how do you start apps up with it on login?
like nm-applet
is there a separate startup file or do you put entries in the config?
oh and is there a command to make a window full screen?

Re: wmfs2 guide

I have tried wmfs2 on 2 debian installations, antiX and Crunchbang and found that the tag numbers in the stausbar don't work properly on either one. When switching screens the tag number of the screen switched to should become "highlighted", but it does not.
When running wmfs2 with xephyr the tag numbers work fine. I was wondering if anyone had any luck with this or if it is a debian issue with wmfs2.

Re: wmfs2 guide

^ While I personally can't help you, since I don't use wmfs2, maybe you should check out arp's site. His distro employs wmfs2 (among other WMs) and is Debian based, so you might be able to find some dotfiles/configs, or perhaps get support from the man himself at their forums.
